It so easy to discount what they say when you realize theyre full of shit, hypocrites and projecting a lot of their own insecurities. The problem is these people vote and create laws.
Making or supporting limiting the rights of others based solely on fear and doubts is Evil with a capital 'E'.
It's like asking "have you stop beating your wife" fallacy. Their simple brains can't comprehend why it is their "gotcha" point is anything and everything but a "gotcha" point.
100% agree. I’m only saying the intent of the argument is to discredit the other side in the eyes of onlookers who might be on the fence. In this way it’s not a gotcha technique but an “associate the opponent with something icky” technique. No need to use logic when you can appeal to emotions.
A reminder that perviously they’ve (a) called all democrats child groomers, and (b) literally enshrined into law that queer people commit child sexual abuse by being queer in public, and (c) have reduced the requirement for the death penalty to an 8-4 jury.
The weird thing is, changing this law only really effects straight men (who aren't A: trans or B: cross dressing or C: gay/homosexual)...so it's not the pwn they think it is.
What I'm saying is, so many other scenarios are coming to pass, why not eventually that one? What seemed crazy yesterday, isn't so crazy today. What seems crazy today, may not seem so crazy tomorrow.
I think what you meant to say was "what we could be bigoted about yesterday, we can't be bigoted about today. So whats to stop this totally unrelated scenario that has happened maybe 3 times in record history, from actually happening? I mean, first the gheys have rights, and the next thing you know, we'll have people marrying animals and child brides! Oh wait, that's already happening. And the like"
It wasn't a joke, per-say, as much as it was pointing out that they are like "LEts KILl THe CHILd MolESters! THey'rE All QueEr AnyWays!" without realizing that the overwhelming vast majority of them are straight men. So while they're secretly trying to make it so they are justified in trying to kill the G and T out there (because they seem to think that is the group that does it), they don't realize this law would just going to be killing a lot their own. poorly worded though. (even my explanation is poorly worded)
Whites and people of color smoke weed and get pulled over at the same rate, so why do people of color get arrested for weed 4x as often? This is the cruel beauty of Republican law: when the police force is on your side, when the judges are on your side, when the jurors are on your side… any law becomes selectively enforced. They won’t condemn white straight men to death at any rate comparable to queer people and people of color.
Also that slippery slope “so much is already happening so why not this?” moral panic horseshit gives me nostalgia for when they used to say gay marriage would cause bestiality. Now apparently it’s gay marriage and incest? A more focused approach, but just new lipstick on the same pig.
Absolutely. I remember idiots saying how do you know if same sex couples marry someone won't want to marry their dog? Stop pretending. It's not about incest or dogs or bathrooms. It's about hating queers. Just fucking admit it.
Does it hurt somebody else or negativity impact society in a tangible way? If so, I'll consider a law discouraging it. If it doesn't then I probably won't. Pretty simple.
Basically speaking, that's Progressive as a whole. I was s imply saying that, currently, incest (in any form) is socially taboo. It wouldn't surprise me, though, that, eventually (years), it will become legal, and the Progressives such as yourself will heartily embrace - and fully support it in any way. As Bruce Hornsby crooned (in an entirely different context), "That's just the way it is."
